ooh, friend<\/span>

The 29-year-old has become good friends with Mourinho since he took him to Chelsea in 2013<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Chelsea winger Willian is hopeful of working with Jose Mourinho again, but for now insists he is happy in London.<\/p>\n

It was Mourinho, now Manchester United<\/a> manager, who brought him to the Premier League<\/a> from\u00a0Anzhi Makhachkala in 2013 when he was in charge at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

\"Willian<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p><\/div>

\n\t\tWillian has been at Chelsea since 2013\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Back then the Blues successfully hijacked Tottenham\u2019s \u00a332million<\/a> move for him and the pair have apparently struck up a strong relationship since.<\/p>\n

And under the Portuguese boss, he won both the Premier League and League Cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cMourinho is the best manager I\u2019ve ever worked with. We have a good relationship, we are friends,\u201d he told ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes we talk, we text, we send messages to each other via WhatsApp. He is a great manager, I really enjoyed working with him. I hope I can work with him again someday.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old has\u00a0been a target of Mourinho\u2019s since he took over at Old Trafford in 2016 and there was even rumours of a \u00a366m bid<\/a> earlier in the summer. Willian, though, is unsure if any formal offers have been made.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p><\/div>

\n\t\tMan United manager Jose Mourinho has remained close with Willian\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if there was any official bid [from Manchester United], but some things have happened,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, everything comes out on the internet, too. But Mourinho talks to my agent all the time, he says \u2018bring him, bring him\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, he has never called me, but he always sends me text messages.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I am very happy at Chelsea, I want to stay in the club. I also like living in London, it is an amazing city, and my family is well adapted. So yeah, I intend to stay at Chelsea.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
